Abstract

Jordan has proper geological and hydrological conditions, which may improve overall performance of the geothermal heat pump specially when using the Standing Column Well (SCW) type. Numerical simulation of the heat and fluid flow for the well and the porous medium around the borehole of the SCW has been investigated using finite difference technique. Parametric study for several variables has been developed. The bleed ratio and the far away temperature increase the outlet water from the SCW going back to the heat pump. Porosity and Reynolds number decreases the water outlet temperature. Standing column well can be employed as a good ground heat exchanger in a geothermal assisted heat pump.
